  Hi Bob,
   
  I started a web presence about a year ago in a yahoo newsgroup called 
sustainable_fortwayne.  We talked about relocalization in the group, and I 
have also been going to NEIGBC meetings (which is much bigger than the one I 
started) where there are people who work for the city who are interested in 
sustainability.  It is a small group making small changes.  I guess the best 
I can do is change my own lifestyle to be the most sustainable as possible 
and hope my example rubs off on others.  I have a couple of neighbors who I 
help and they give me food from their gardens.  That is a small step toward a 
village type setting.  However, they are not interested in edible wild flower 
plants which are more suited to the environment and a natural ecosystem.  I 
read several foraging books and found that wild plants are more nutritious 
than cultivated ones.
   
  I checked out the Relocalization Network Website.  So far, there isn't a 
group for Fort Wayne, IN.
